Maher accuses Biden of ‘tragedy porn’ for trotting out family of Tyre Nichols at SOTU: ‘Exploitative’
February 4, 2023 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher blasted President Biden for using Tyre Nichols’ family as political props during his upcoming State of the Union address on Feb. 7, accusing him of engaging in “tragedy porn” while bluntly calling it “gross.”

“It’s exploitative of a family in grief, newly in grief,” he charged echoing the sentiments of many Americans.

Maher’s panelists, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), both took exception to Maher’s claim. They predictably defended the president for his actions.

“That’s a call for the Nichols family to make,” Stephens asserted, referring to the widow who attended former President George W. Bush’s State of the Union after the 9/11 attacks as if it was even remotely similar. “Those are intensely, intensely personal calls.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It's almost as if he woke up and got some conservative in him.
He used to be such a knee jerk liberal I couldn't stand him at all.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He say's he's just as progressive as he always was. But the others in his party went batshit crazy.
